Chapter 210: On the Road
Time flies, cold and heat pass by, and the years are like rivers that will never end. There is only a rumbling sound, but I don’t know how many times it has been repeated.
Gu Xiu looked at the tall city in front of him and compared the city wall called Zhaocheng in his heart. How did he compare with Xianshui City?
It has been ten years since I left the north gate of Xianshui City and headed north all the way.
For some reason, Gu Xiu always remembered Xianshui City. Whenever she failed to find Gu Shu, she remembered the small courtyard in the Gu family in the south gate of Xianshui City. When she went back last time, Gu Shu's dusty room, Gu Xuan's closed door and the formation that the Sanshen-stage cultivator outside the door also took a certain amount of time to break through.
I don’t know if Gu Xuan has come out of seclusion now, but she should have come out of seclusion long ago. I don’t know if she has successfully advanced to the late stage of regaining, and maybe she has succeeded.
Even I successfully advanced to the late stage of interest rate condensation a few years ago?
She often wrote letters to Gu Xuan, and the first letter was to ask her to find Li Zhong and bring him a message to Yi Linlang. She might not be able to supply the velvet for a long time, so she asked them to let him not reply because of her uncertain whereabouts.
Gu Xiu once again focused his attention on Zhaocheng's wall and came to a conclusion that even if Zhaocheng is the middle city under Fancheng and the closest mid city to Fancheng, its wall is comparable to that of Xianshui City.
It seems that the sky-cutting axe offered by Lord He was on the idea.
There is nothing special about Zhaocheng, and it is not much different from the cities that Gu Xiu has traveled over the years. Gu Xiu sold the two refined robes to the garment shop. Although the price was a bit low, her craftsmanship was really good and she still got eight thousand gold beads.
With this craft, and because of the unlimited supply of materials in the Wanmu Realm, Gu Xiu has never been short of money at hand.
After lingering in Zhaocheng for more than ten days, I found the escort agency and messaging office in the city that I was best at inquiring about information, and left Gu Shu's information. Next, I was waiting time.
Over the past ten years, every time Gu Xiu went to a city, the escort agency and the messaging office were places she had to go.
The news from the feedback is disappointing.
Ten days later, news came from several escort agencies and the messaging offices, and the results were just as disappointing.
Gu Xiu lingered for two more days, then left Zhaocheng and headed for Fancheng.
After ten years, she has been walking and searching all the way, and finally arrived in Fancheng.
And Fancheng will also be her last search. If she is in Fancheng, there is still no news about Gu Shu, she will stop searching.
Her decision was very decisive and had not changed in the middle.
When she decided to look for it, she went north alone and moved forward. Although she had encountered more than one life-threatening situation along the way, she never gave up.
In her heart, she had a plan early to find Fancheng, and no matter what the result was, she would no longer look for it.
This is her explanation to Gu Shu, and it is also for herself.
Of course, if she still has the opportunity to travel in the future, she will also inquire about Gu Shu's news, but she will no longer search specifically.
There are no small towns between Zhaocheng and Fancheng, but there are several small towns and dozens of villages. The distance between villages and towns is very far away. There are many mountains and forests on the road and sparse fields. This section of the road is very desolate and lonely.
Gu Xiu has been walking for ten years. Although they are all under the jurisdiction of Fancheng, they have walked many places. Such a journey is nothing to her.
On that day, Gu Xiu found an inn on the roadside. In this place where there was no village in front or shop in the back, the inn seemed very abrupt.
However, this is the closest road from Zhaocheng to Fancheng, with many caravans and travelers. As we walked, Gu Xiu discovered this inn. In this way, although the inn is barren, the business should be good.
Gu Xiu looked up and saw a plaque with four big words "Yuezhao Inn" written on it, which was hung high on the door.
"This fellow Taoist, it's windy outside, come in quickly, maybe snow will fall tonight."
Gu Xiu was still looking at the name of the inn. The thick curtain in front of the inn was lifted up. A monk from the early stage of the Condensation Crime came out from it. He looked like a seventeen or eighteen years old and was dressed as a friend. When he saw Gu Xiu, he showed a warm smile on his face and came up to ask.
Well, I'm tired of living in the wilderness. Since I encountered an inn, Gu Xiu didn't want to feel wronged.
She nodded, "Stay for one night."
"Okay, fellow Taoist please come in." The guy welcomed Gu Xiu in.
As soon as I entered the inn, a heater came to my face. Even though Gu Xiu was not afraid of the cold, he was still extremely comfortable when he was washed away by the heater.
The lobby on the first floor of the inn was very lively, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was crowded. Gu Xiu glanced casually and found that most of the lobby were mortals, and a small number were monks.
Gu Xiu found a table beside the window and sat down. During this period, in addition to the fasting pill, he was a beast he had beaten outside and roasted it casually, and even Xiaoban and the ground wind felt that there was no smell in his mouth.
Gu Xiu likes to eat, but she is different from Gu Yue. She doesn’t like to make it and can’t do it either.
"Master, I'm going to come out." Xiaoban watched as the food was brought up, making a big fuss in the spirit beast space.
"You two can only come out."
In front of outsiders, she didn't want to reveal her full strength, and the spirit beast was also part of her strength.
"It's Xiaomaru's turn this time. I came out last time." Difeng took the initiative.
Since they had agreed, Gu Xiu naturally would not have any objections. With a thought, Xiaopan appeared at her feet.
There was a spirit beast bag hanging around her waist, and others would only think that Xiao Ban came out of the spirit beast bag.
Within ten years, not only did she advance to the late stage of the Fresh Condensation, but Xiao Ban also became a second-level spirit beast.
Judging from Gu Xiu's current cultivation level, it would not be suspicious to have a second-level spirit beast.
However, most people may not have seen the species of Xiaopan before. As soon as Xiaopan appeared, it attracted the attention of several monks in the lobby.
When the guy served the food, he also looked at Xiaoban, who was lying beside Gu Xiu's feet and was eating happily, and looked confused, but he did not ask questions.
But when I saw Gu Xiu looking at the map, I reminded him: "Fellow Daoist, from here to Fancheng, all the way north, there is a Sawtooth Mountain. When passing by Sawtooth Mountain, you must be very careful. Promise, it's here."
The guy pointed to a place on the map, which was exactly where Gu Xiu had just seen.
"Oh, tell me, what's special about this Sawthorn Mountain?" Gu Xiu asked.
